Less than 800 miles on the odometer when it burst into flames at a recent drifting event. The theory is there was an issue with the fuel line that quickly got out of control. Really hope the owner's insurance covers this.

Yeah...I havent heard of any recalls due to faulty lines. So either the owner did something to mess it up, or theres alot more to the story.

Insurance won't cover that unless they lie about it being at a motorsports event or they have special insurance. Almost no insurance companies cover you at a motorsports event, some won't even cover you on the property, so if you just come to watch and you're in the parking lot even.

Since finding out why the car burned up in the first place will be difficult it probably won't be covered under warranty either.

yeah insurance probably won't take that. but he could have the car towed to some side road, light the sh*t on fire and take pictures hahaha. i mean insurance companies make so much $$$$$ as it is.

i always, always, always have a fire extinguisher in the back. this guy was a complete tool for not having one on hand.

i would get to know the car first before going crazy with the bolt on's and also get a feel for the car, how it handles and KNOW The Specs on it,

any moron can make a car fast with money and bolt on's but only a true enthusiast who understands what he's doing and spends quality time doing DIY's and having good knowledge of auto mechanic training can be one with the car,

from looking at it, looks like either a fuel or turbo fire due to a leaking oil line, but the moneys on the fuel line since the turbo looks untouched from the flames
